GROOMING TIME!

It's me Katie. Low and behold, Mama plopped me onto the grooming table this morning. She said I look like a wooly lamb with my long hair. So it was time for strip, clip and scissor time.

My hairdo isn't totally done yet, she needs to strip the longer hairs from my legs and a few touch up areas.

The sunlight coming through our skylights messed up this photo:

And of course my tail is not upright, I'm still a bit camera shy.

It's hard to believe I'm already 1 year 9 months old. Seems like just yesterday I was a wee one like Sparky, losing my pupper toofers and acting silly. Speaking of toofers, after Mama worked on my hair, Sparky got my furs all bloody again from wrestling with me. One of his big molars has poked through the gum and keeps bleeding. Yesterday he lost his other bottom puppy fang and got me bloody. Here is his toofer:

It sure is hard work helping your brudder pull out his puppy tooth. We wrestled and played bitey face for hours before the tooth popped. I was tuckered out afterwards:

We took some photos of Sparky today too. He is 21 weeks old, will be 5 months old on December 4th.

What a show off, holding his tail upright so nicely! He won't be holding it up next Wednesday when he goes to the vet to have his 'boy bits' removed, hahahaha!

Sparky certainly does seem to have got the hang of this posing business at a very young age. But Katie you look too beautiful after your groom. I feel embarrassed to be so shaggy in comparison (Gail says she has been to busy to pay much attention to my coat just lately).Toodle pip!Bertie.

Y'all look great! My Mommy takes me to the groomers. I'm not hand stripped any more, so it is only clippering for me. If Andy was hand stripped, he would look like a sheered sheep.Welsh hugs and kisses,Sally AnnP.S. Can Myrtle and her husband come up to visit and pick up their change purse puppies.

OUR LITTLE MAN ANGEL BUTCHY

OUR LITTLE ANGEL MISS SNICKERS

We share our home with 5 cats that we rescued starting in 2008, 4 of them were feral. Ruby, Sylvester, Scuby, Hootie & Zeek.

On Feb. 20, 2010 our new wirey girl Lady Katie Of Mutton Hollow was born in Chesterland, Ohio. She arrived here on April 17th, 2010. We look forward to watching her grow up & making us smile.

Butchy had Hypothyroidism & took daily thyroid hormones.
In January of 2011, Butchy started having many seizures. By mid-May, he was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor that was causing his seizures and the cancer had now spread to his left lung. Our little man lost his battle to the Cancer Monster.

Snickers also had Hypothyroidism and in 2008, Snickers was diagnosed with Idiopathic Epilepsy. She defeated the seizure monster but Lymphoma Cancer from Nasal Carcinoma Cancer stole her beautiful life.
